The RS 120 RF (Radio Frequency) Wireless Headphone lets you enjoy sound without the cumbersome cables associated with traditional headphones. This system features a lightweight on-ear headphone that receives sound from a transmitter base when connected to an analog output of any audio source (like a TV, sound system or computer). The sound quality is classic Sennheiser; detailed and balanced with good clarity and bass response. These lightweight headphones, featuring a padded headband for comfort are ideal for long listening or TV watching sessions.
RS 120 RF Wireless Headphones offer exceptional performance and value. They draw on decades of Sennheiser engineering expertise to ensure premium sound quality, reliability and durability.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1. Hiss: non existent. none. I'm using these with RCA outputs on my tv that have constant output and in this mode 0 hiss at any volume even with total silence on the source. If you're using headphone jack output, probably should have the component volume up enough (normal listening level) so you don't have to crank the phones - but I've pushed the volume on these during silence on screen without any hiss!!
2. Unable to charge with earpieces extended. Huh? Maybe they've changed the design of base unit, but this is simply NOT true. I've extended them all the way and set on the base to charge. No problemo.
3. Volume control on same side as tuning wheel. Please.
4. Auto on/off. So far no problem while watching TV. I suppose if you're pausing dvd's frequently, this could be a minor annoyance, but if you're wearing wireless headphones the need to pause should be minimal, since you can keep listening while you grab a beer in the kitchen or take care of business in the bathroom! Here's the bottom line on this: I TURNED THE TV OFF AND CLOCKED THE TIME-TO-AUTO-SHUTOFF: 3 minutes exactly. So.. how can this be a problem listening to music: suggest if this a problem you are using a headphone jack and the component volume is set incredibly low, turn it up a bit! Oh, yeah, when the base is off, then turn the tv on, the time between tv volume "on" and base unit auto on is virtually instantaneous. Again if, not getting this performance, suspect it is headphone jack and component volume problem.
Overall: this is a great set of wireless headphones at a reasonable price (less than $100 on amazon) and the problems noted by others have either been engineered out of the product over the years (some of the negative reviews are years old), or the folks with problems haven't set them up correctly (using headphone jack with component volume turned too low). For best results, try the rca audio outputs and if you're going to buy a new tv, look for and get a tv that has this feature!
Ten Stars!
I always read reviews here prior to moving ahead. I read many of the one star reviews on this product, however, another thing I consider is the number of 3 or less star reviews compared to 4 and 5. So I took a chance and must say these headphones are working very well for me. The range is awesome with hardly any interference, the battery lasts long enough and the cycle of pleasing is sufficient.
Seems most of the negativity is based on the unit being difficult to the right frequency. The tuning wheel must be turned very slowly, as it's covering many frequency bands with every tiny movement. Not difficult at all if the tuning is done slowly. This is FINE tuning.
As for the range? It's unbelievably good. So long as the base is not in a metal room, in your average house with drywall you can easily walk to every part of the home, garage and yard without losing the signal. Of course if there is a lot of metal, chain link or if the base is in a bomb shelter, the range will be less.
There is also an additional bank of frequencies available simply by flipping the switch on the bottom. More than enough tuning capacity to meet most every, if not all applications.
Negative reviews regarding hiss are either caused by poor transmitter location and/or improper frequency tuning. Also, it's important to know if there is no signal going into the system, there is nothing to transmit but static, and that's exactly what you'll get! When the audio signal is interrupted (pausing or stopping a DVD, TV powering off, etc.) The headphone system will "time out" after no input signal is sensed after 2-3 minutes and you will indeed get bombarded with white noise / static. THIS IS NOT A DEFECT. If there's no "sound" going into the system, there's just dead air being transmitted. Dead air sounds like this: "Swishhhhhhhhhh!"
Another complaint had to do with extreme difficulty hanging the headphones on the charger/transmitter/base. If the base is level there is no problem. I did however experience what one reviewer documented, which is having to tinker a long time hanging the headphones on the base until the charging light would stay on. Over the years the metal strips on the base (which charge the headphones) can and will collect dirt or tarnish. I used a jewelry cleaning rag to shine them up and once again, just plopping the phones on the charger is all it takes.
Someone mentioned the volume and tuning wheels are too close together, but they're not too close so long as you're careful. If you're wearing gloves or have 5 thumbs on one hand, yes, you will have trouble turning the tuning and volume separately.
Only thing for me is the light weight of the headphones. Overall this is a merry thing, except when I need to tie my shoes or swing my head around wildly (which I often do when reviewing here). All in all the price, comfort, function and sound quality are awesome, and that's a word I use way too much, just like most you all. Enjoy these, you will not regret a day in at all.
As of the time of this embellished input of informationary review for your reading digestion, I've had my set over six years now. I have moved 3 times and have obtained phenomenal signal in all 3 locations. I've sat in my car outside, walked around the house, every room, upstairs, downstairs, etc. (basements might be a problem) out in the yard, etc. As I mentioned earlier, the transmitter must be in a suitable location, away from AC lines, metal, and formulated ionic sentries, etc.
The tone is excellent! Better than the TV speakers. The original rechargeable batteries lasted almost 3-years before they quit. Easy to replace. You can even replace the rechargeable batteries with regular batteries, just DO NOT hang it on the charging station.
Also! Additional headsets can be purchased and will work off one transmitter, however, since additional headphone sets cost more than the entire kit (with charger/transmitter), I'd recommend just getting two kits just because. Best if plugged into the external speaker output on your TV, then the TV can be turned down as these have their own volume. Multiple headsets are a great if you rent, have kids, rent from kids or have other reasons to keep your TV volume lower than any particular need therewith. Only thing with multiple headsets would be the recharging with only one base. Guess what? You can put [2] regular AAA batteries in the additional set(s) and forgo the recharging in those set(s).
Considering the excellent tone and range, the excellent reputation Sennheiser enjoys, all this $300 level quality and performance for less than $70?
Geez! Such a deal should be kept secret, so, please don't tell anyone!
10/26/2020: I had updated and reduced stars, thinking my second unit has also stopped transmitting after a feew years. Well, I found out this was due to the unit needing an internal reset (after a power surge). Unplugged from AC and Audio, removed batteries from headset, waited 15 minutes and POW! Both units work!
So, 5 starts remain.
Top reviews from other countries
Más de 2 años de uso diario y la batería sigue aguantando un montón.
No tiene ninguna interferencia y se escucha bien.
They do a terrific job with no interference noise and a clear as a bell signal. I hooked them up to the RCA outputs on our Toshiba LCD with a couple of simple RCA splitters from Monoprice thru Amazon and have a set of 5.1 Computer speakers hooked up on the other outputs of the splitters.
The result is that volume can be independently be controlled from the TV remote, the speaker controls and the headphone controls so once everything is properly adjusted everyone is happy.
The AAA NiMH batteries are a nice touch as well. We've run them for 4 hours without them pooping out and they will be easily replaceable in the long run when they finally no longer hold a full charge.
They are reasonably comfortable to wear and though your ears will tend to get hot after a bit it's really no worse than any other set of full headphones I've ever tried. Sound quality is excellent and clear for TV viewing as well as full length concert videos on Youtube.
All in all no complaints and highly recommended. I almost bought the RS 126 model but after getting this I see no real reason for spending an extra $50 for what are essentially the same headphones doing the same job.
